Angelcare Movement & Sound Baby Monitor - AC201 - 1X

The good:- Monitors baby movement with minimal false alarms.- Much lower price than other Angelcare monitors.- Helps neurotic adults with an infant in their care get some sleep without checking baby every ten seconds.The bad:- The parent monitor has an obnoxiously loud static no matter what frequency or volume one uses.- Motion ticker is grating to listen to for any length of time. (You can turn it off, but that seems pointless.)- Monitor range is lacking. As in, it sucks.All-in-all I do not regret the purchase and would buy again for the peace of mind. However, had I not been on such a strict budget, I much prefer the BabyHalo/Hero monitor over this one.

I'm giving this 3 stars because I like this type of monitor. I used one with my first child and loved it. However, this monitor was defective and I went on a struggle with the seller an finally had to get Amazon involved and it took 2 weeks to get a refund for this item. I reordered a newer version of this monitor from a different seller and love it.

I read the bad reviews about the audio but I already had a video monitor so I just don't use that part. This is much cheaper than just buying the movement monitor by itself (at least when I bought it). I did have to turn the sensitivity all the way up because it would go off when my baby would move to the edge of her crib... And scare the crap out of us. Now it doesn't go off when I take her out but we're moving in her room. I hope it would still detect if she stops breathing. I'm hoping it would since there shouldn't be any other movement in her room when she's sleeping.

So, here's the deal. Yes, occasionally there Wil be a false alarm. Who cares? It does the job it says it will do.It quite literally saved my daughter's life. I was a single mom and couldn't afford the "fancier" version. I had this one. It went off a few days in a row. I took her to the doctor because her breathing didn't seem right, it wasn't. Her oxygen level was at 85. She received breathing treatments and was transferred to another hospital where I was told I was "paranoid" "a nervous first time mom" we were sent home. The next day she stopped breathing in my arms. I have her breathing treatments I had at home and the emt's did so when they got there quickly. Vanderbilt ran every test they had and had no explanation.Because I had this monitor I was more aware. I was nervous. It saved her life. It also let me sleep SO peacefully on the nights I didn't have a false alarm.I now have a happy, healthy 4 year old. Thank you AngelCare.Buy it, yes it cheaper. No, it isn't as "fancy" but it's incredible.

The movement sensor works properly and the system was easy to set up. However, I am annoyed by the sound monitor because it has a constant static/buzzing sound in the background when everything is completely quiet.

The static can be a little bothersome if the volume is up too high, but otherwise a great product. I would highly recommend it. I'm still working on how to use the movement screen without it beeping at me. My daughter just stays extremely still all night, so I usually keep it off and just check on her.

I ordered this monitor for my baby to use at Daycare. She uses an apnea monitor at home, but our insurance didn't want to pay for a second one. This monitor is not as precise as their newer model, but it served it purpose well. I am huge supporter of Angelcare monitors and have bought my pregnant friends their own monitors as gifts.

Love this product. I have four grandchilden ages 2mounts- 10 years old. 3 of the kids stopped breathing while sleeping and were taken out of cribs and they started breathing again. Thanks to angel monitors My grandkids are still with us. That is the 1st item we buy when I have a new baby being born in our family.

Great To see what the kids are up To
